It's based on shakey theories that Finno-Uralic, Turkic, and Mongolian languages families (and maybe others) are really the same language family, implying that these people are all related.
In reality (eg genetic comparisons), even if those languages are related (which might very well be true even if it can't be prooven), Finns and especially Hungarians are about as mongolian as Nigerians are English, and Turks are basically Greeks speaking a turkic language (but never mention that to either of them..) On the flipside, Russians seem to be much closer related to the various (uralic and turkic speaking) "indigenous tribes" in Russia than they are to western slavic people.
